Only going to make comments on the first two periods.
That may have been the best game I've seen by Chyrchun. Looked great offensively and through the neutral. Looked poised in his end.
Pitlick has some sneaky skill. Would love him to be on our third line.
Still convinced Raanta is our best goalie just isn't healthy enough.
OEL has transitioned his game to a Vlasic/Bouwmeester who has a great outlet pass and can QB a PP. Probably not worth his contract but sure isn't a net negative yet. Better than going full EK or PK on trajectory.
Garland was shut down at times, was able to be his slippery self at times and drew a penalty and had an assist. I'd call it a mediocre game. We got a bonafide top line guy here if that's mediocre.
Dvo was quietly very good at generating offense. Pretty bad on the draws.
Crouse and Fischer deserved a goal.
I didn't notice Keller much outside of the PP and his goal. Oh yeah, he got us on the board first which doesn't happen often.
How can Tocchet keep this 3rd period turtle going. It clearly doesn't work. I don't believe the players even enjoy or prefer playing in that style. Nearly cost the game again.
